Answer:
(A) what is the average number of units sold for 50 days: 820, 1830, 1040, 850, 6
(B) what is the standard deviation
(C) what is the average number of units sold for 5 days: 86, 23, 73, 40, 95
(D) can we conclude that the sales are random?
Explanation:
(A)
(820×10) + (1830×10) + (1040×10) + (850×10) + (6×10) = 45,460
45,460÷50 = 909.2units
(B)
(909.2-820)^2 × 10 = total squared mean deviation of the first 10 sales or 10days - sales of 820 per day
Doing same for the other 4 values, the total of squared mean deviation for the 5 days is
16922128÷50 = 338442.56 = Variance of the set of sales values
Standard Deviation is the square root of Variance so it is 581.758
(C) Mean of random units sold in 5 days: 317÷5 = 63.4
(D) for 50 days, mean sale was 909.2 units
For 5 days, random mean sale was 63.4
50÷5=10
909.2÷63.4=14.34
Yes, we can conclude that the sales are random
A major purpose of using an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is to recognize uncollectible accounts expense in the same accounting period as the related sales which caused the expense. True or False?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Allowance is made to be ready and prepared for any kind of loss to be incurred, or expense to be beared. Based on relative information and estimate an approximate amount is provided for.
When an yearly allowance is made for bad debts losses, the purpose is to meet the loss of bad debts due to current year sales on credit.
As the allowance is made yearly, and that represents the system of providing for losses, and to meet the criteria of matching principle to match revenue with its related costs, this is essential.
Thus, the statement is question is True.

Use the following two statements to answer this question:
I. Increasing returns to scale cause economies of scale.
II. Economies of scale cause increasing returns to scale.
(A) Both I and II are false.
(B) Both I and II are true.
(C) I is false, and II is true.
(D) I is true, and II is false.
Answer:
(D) I is true, and II is false
Explanation:
Increasing returns to scale means that during a production process, as input increases, output increases but by a larger proportion.
Economies of scale refers to the decrease in average cost per unit as a firm increases its output.
The increase in output brought about by increasing returns to scale causes cost per unit to decrease (which is economies of scale).
Therefore increasing returns to scale causes economies of scale.
GMM co. plans to issue annual coupon bonds with 7.5% coupon rate to the public, maturing in 10 years. The face value of the bond is $1,000. You, as the CFO, want to decide how to set the price for the bond.
You notice that 2 years ago, your company issued a 15-year annual coupon bond with 8% coupon rate.
The current market price for the outstanding old bond is $950.
What is the fair price for the new 10-year annual coupon bond?
a. 1000
b. 924.70
c. 1024.70
d. 934.70
e. 1034.70
Answer:
What is the fair price for the new 10-year annual coupon bond?b. 924.70
Explanation:
First it's needed to calculate the YTM of the current bonds, issued 2 years ago, if we applied the Present Value formula to the Principal and Coupons we get the YTM to the current bonds.
With a market price of $950, we can find the YTM of these bonds today, when there are 13 years left until the expiration date, the YTM is 8,66%.
If we apply this 8,66% rate to the new bond issue, we can obtain the price that could be accepted for the market.
Bond Value
Principal Present Value = F / (1 + r)^t
Coupon Present Value = C x [1 - 1/(1 +r)^t] / r
YTM of the Bond that was issued 2 years ago.
The price of this bond it's $340 + $610 = $950
Present Value of Bonds $340 = $1,000/(1+0,0866)^13
Present Value of Coupons $610 = $80 (Coupon) x 7,63
7,63 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0866)^13 ]/ 0,0866
The bond price to be issued:
The price of this bond it's $436 + $489 = $924,70
Present Value of Bonds $436 = $1,000/(1+0,0866)^10
Present Value of Coupons $489 = $75 (Coupon) x 6,52
6,52 = [1 - 1/(1+0,0866)^10 ]/ 0,0866
Fiscal policy is: Select one:
a. less effective in dealing with real shocks than aggregate demand shocks.
b. not effective in dealing with either real shocks or aggregate demand shocks
c. equally effective in dealing with real shocks as with aggregate demand shocks.
d. more effective in dealing with real shocks than aggregate demand shocks.
Answer:
d. more effective in dealing with real shocks than aggregate demand shocks.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy are more effective in dealing with real policy shocks than the monetary policy. The correct answer is d. more effective in dealing with real shocks than aggregate demand shocks.
Final answer:
Fiscal policy is particularly designed to manage aggregate demand, making it more effective in responding to aggregate demand shocks than real shocks. It involves the use of government spending and taxation to influence economic conditions, although its effectiveness can vary based on several factors.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy is a critical tool for managing an economy's aggregate demand, particularly in response to recessionary and inflationary gaps. The effectiveness of fiscal policy, especially through expansionary and contractionary measures, is illustrated in its capacity to adjust aggregate demand to stabilize the economy. In dealing with aggregate demand shocks, fiscal policy involves adjusting government spending and taxation to either stimulate the economy during recessions or cool it down during inflationary periods.
However, fiscal policy faces challenges such as crowding out, interest rate effects, and timing issues, making it a subject of debate among economists. Despite these challenges, fiscal policy remains a vital instrument in the government's toolkit for economic management, although its effectiveness can vary depending on the nature of economic shocks and the conditions of the economy.
Given this context, the correct answer to the question is a. less effective in dealing with real shocks than aggregate demand shocks. This is because fiscal policy is directly aimed at influencing aggregate demand through government spending and taxation adjustments, making it more responsive to demand shocks than to real shocks, which may relate to supply-side factors such as technology or resource availability.
ABC Company’s budgeted sales for June, July, and August are 14,800, 18,800, and 16,800 units, respectively. ABC requires 30% of the next month’s budgeted unit sales as finished goods inventory each month. Budgeted ending finished goods inventory for May is 4,440 units.
Required: Calculate the number of units to be produced in June and July.
Final answer:
To calculate the number of units to be produced in June and July, consider the budgeted sales and desired finished goods inventory. In June, 20,440 units need to be produced and in July, 23,840 units need to be produced.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units to be produced in June and July, we need to consider ABC Company's budgeted sales and desired finished goods inventory. In June, the budgeted sales are 14,800 units. ABC requires 30% of the next month's budgeted sales as finished goods inventory. So, the desired finished goods inventory for July would be 30% of 18,800 units, which is 5,640 units. Therefore, the number of units to be produced in June would be the sum of June sales (14,800 units) and desired finished goods inventory for July (5,640 units), which is 20,440 units.
In July, the budgeted sales are 18,800 units. Following the same logic, the desired finished goods inventory for August would be 30% of 16,800 units, which is 5,040 units. Therefore, the number of units to be produced in July would be the sum of July sales (18,800 units) and desired finished goods inventory for August (5,040 units), which is 23,840 units.
Final answer:
The number of units to be produced in June is 16,000, and for July is 18,200, based on the company's policy of maintaining 30% of the next month's sales as ending inventory.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units to be produced in June and July, we start by identifying the ending inventory requirements for each month, which is 30% of the next month's budgeted unit sales according to ABC Company's inventory policy. For June, the ending inventory should be 30% of July's sales (18,800 units), resulting in 5,640 units required for the ending inventory of June. Using the budgeted ending finished goods inventory for May, which is 4,440 units, the total needs for June (sales plus ending inventory) would be 14,800 units (planned sales) + 5,640 units (ending inventory) = 20,440 units. Subtracting the beginning inventory for June (which is May's ending inventory), we get 20,440 units - 4,440 units = 16,000 units that need to be produced in June.
For July, the process is similar. The ending inventory should be 30% of August's sales (16,800 units), which is 5,040 units. July's total needs would be 18,800 units (planned sales) + 5,040 units (ending inventory) = 23,840 units. The beginning inventory for July is June's ending inventory, which is 5,640 units. Thus, the number of units to be produced in July is 23,840 units - 5,640 units = 18,200 units.

Explanation
Please consider the data provided by the exercise. If you have any question please write me back. All the exercises are solved in a single sheet with the formulas indications.
The secretary has an average utilization rate of 80%. The probability of more than four pages waiting or being processed can't be accurately provided without additional data. Similarly, the average number of pages waiting to be processed can't be determined without additional data.
Explanation:The subject of this question is Business, specifically related to operations management, and appropriate for a College level course. The questions focus on determining the secretary's average utilization rate, the probability of a certain number of pages being processed, and the average number of pages waiting to be processed.
a) The average utilization rate of the secretary can be calculated by dividing the average rate at which the work (requests for document processing) arrives by the rate at which the work is done. In this case, the rate of arrival is 8 pages per hour and the rate of work done is 10 pages per hour. So, the utilization rate is 8/10 or 0.8, which is 80%.
b) The probability that more than four pages are waiting or being word processed is more complex to calculate and generally requires the use of a Poisson distribution formula or tables. As the question doesn't provide enough information, this aspect can't be accurately answered.
c) The average number of pages waiting to be word processed is calculated by the formula (λ^2)/(μ*(μ-λ)), where λ is the arrival rate and μ is the service rate. However, without additional data, a specific number cannot be given.

Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical companies except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 80 percent for the next year, and the probability of a recession is 20 percent. If the expansion continues, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $3.7 million. If a recession occurs, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.1 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the company to pay $910,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the company to pay $1.2 million at the end of the year. Neither company pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent.

b. Disagree as the values of the two companies are the same ( please see below Explanation for further clarification)
Explanation:
It is clear to determine that the value of debt and equity of the two firms is the present value of cash flow received in 1 year, discounted at 12%.
a-1.
In one year:
- Debt holder of Steinberg will receive $910,000 regardless of its EBIT. -=> Thus, Steinberg's debt present value = 910,000 / 1.12 = $812,500
- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Steinberg's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT - amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 910,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-910,000) = $2,270,000.
=> Thus, Steinberg's equity present value = $2,270,000/ 1.12 = $2,026,786
=> Value of Steinberg = D+E = 812,500 + 2,026,786 = $2,839,286 ( note: no tax applied)
a-2.
In one year:
- Debt holder of Dietrich will receive $1,200,000 when the business expands while only $1,100,000 when the business goes into recession (i.e business loss is 100,000): 0.8 x 1,200,000 + 0.2 x 1,100,000 = $1,180,000
=> Thus, Dietrich's debt present value = 1,180,000 / 1.12 = $1,053,571
- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Dietrich's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT - amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 1,200,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-1,100,000) = $2,000,000.
=> Thus, Dietrich's equity present value = 2,000,000 / 1.12 = $1,785,714
=> Value of Steinberg = D+E =$1,053,571+$1,785,714 = $2,839,286( note: no tax applied)

Determine the amount of ending inventory the company will report on its pro forma balance sheet at the end of the first quarter.
Answer
The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following image.
Explanation
Please consider the data provided by the exercise. If you have any question please write me back. All the exercises are solved in a single sheet with the formulas indications.
Without additional data, it's not possible to calculate Lumpkin Company's cost of goods sold for Q1. However, given the company's policy and the provided cost of goods sold for April, their ending inventory at the end of Q1 would be $4,000.
Explanation:To find the amount of cost of goods sold that the Lumpkin Company will report on its first quarter pro forma income statement, we would need the company's sales forecast and direct cost of the goods for the first quarter. However, as you only provided April's budgeted cost of goods sold ($40,000), we can't calculate the first quarter cost of goods sold without additional information.
Regarding the ending inventory, Lumpkin's policy is to maintain an ending inventory balance equal to 10 percent of the following month's cost of goods sold. Again, to compute the ending inventory for the end of Q1, we would need the company's projected cost of goods sold for April (the month following Q1) which you've mentioned as $40,000. Thus, using this, Lumpkin's ending inventory for Q1 would be $40,000 * 10% = $4,000.
Remember, the above solution is based on the information available and any additional data may affect the result.

Advertising expense $ 140,000 Supervisory salaries 300,000 Allocation of companywide facility-level costs 130,000 Original cost of building 220,000 Book value of building 100,000 Market value of building 160,000 Maintenance costs on equipment 112,000 Real estate taxes on building 12,000 Required Determine the amount of avoidable cost associated with the segment.
The avoidable cost associated with the segment is $694,000. This includes the advertising expense, supervisory salaries, allocation of companywide facility-level costs, maintenance costs on equipment and real estate taxes on the building.
Explanation:In order to calculate the avoidable cost associated with the segment Lake Corporation is considering to eliminate, we need to add up the cost items that will be avoided if the segment is closed. These include:
Advertising Expense ($140,000) Supervisory Salaries ($300,000) Allocation of Companywide Facility-Level Costs ($130,000) Maintenance Costs on Equipment ($112,000) Real Estate Taxes on Building ($12,000)
The total avoidable cost comes to $694,000. It's important to note that the original cost and book value of the building is not considered as an avoidable cost. However, the market value of the building is relevant if the building will be sold. This is very similar to decision making processes, where variable costs, fixed costs, and total costs are taken into consideration.

Which of the following is NOT a diversifiable risk?
A) the risk that oil prices rise, increasing production costs
B) the risk that the CEO is killed in a plane crash
C) the risk of a key employee being hired away by a competitor
D) the risk of a product liability lawsuit
Answer:
A) the risk that oil prices rise, increasing production costs
Explanation:
A diversifiable risk also known as unsystemic risk is risk that is specific only to a company. It can be mitigated against by diversifying a portfolio.
The risk that the CEO is killed in a plane crash , the risk of a key employee being hired away by a competitor and the risk of a product liability lawsuit are all specific to the company and are all diversifiable risks.
The risk that oil prices rise, increasing production costs is non diversificable risk.
Non diversificable risk is risk that can affect the whole industry or economy. Non diversificable risk cannot be avoided by diversifying the portfolio.
The risk that oil prices rise, increasing production costs isn't company specific, it would affect the whole industry or economy.

On January 1, Duane Company purchases land at a cost of $125,000. Duane incurs costs of $2,000 for the closing fees and surveys. Duane also spent $7,500 on clearing costs to prepare the land for use. What is the cost of land to be recorded by Duane?
Answer:
Total cost of land = $134,500
Explanation:
To determine the cost to be recorded, we have to analyze each cost.
Since the company performs closing fees and surveys during purchasing time, it is capital expenditure. Therefore, it will be added to the initial cost.
Clearing cost to prepare the land also occurs during the land purchase time. Therefore, it is also a capital expense. So, it is also added to the initial cost.
Therefore, the total cost to purchase the land = Purchasing price + Closing fees and surveys + Clearing costs.
= $(125,000 + 2,000 + 7,500)
= $134,500
Gangland Water Guns, Inc. is expected to pay a dividend of $2.10 one year from today. If the firm's growth in dividends is expected to remain at a flat 3 percent forever, what is the cost of equity capital for Gangland if the price of its common shares is currently $17.50.
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
Use Dividend discount model to find the required return of equity or cost of equity capital;
Return r formula;
[tex]=\frac{D1}{P0} +g[/tex]
whereby; D1 = Next year's dividend = $2.10
P0 = Current price = $17.50
Growth rate; g = 3% or 0.03 as a decimal
Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above to calculate the cost of equity;
r [tex]=\frac{2.10}{17.50} +0.03\\ \\ =0.12+ 0.03[/tex]
r = 0.15 or 15%
Therefore, cost of equity is 15%
The cost of equity capital for Gangland Water Guns, Inc. is 15%, calculated using the Gordon Growth Model (GGM) with a dividend of $2.10, a growth rate of 3%, and a current stock price of $17.50.
The cost of equity capital for Gangland Water Guns, Inc. can be calculated using the Gordon Growth Model (GGM), which determines the present value of an infinite series of dividends that grow at a constant rate. The formula for the GGM is P = D1 / (k - g), where P is the current stock price, D1 is the dividend in one year, k is the cost of equity, and g is the growth rate of dividends. In this scenario, we have a dividend (D1) of $2.10, a growth rate (g) of 3 percent, and a current stock price (P) of $17.50. To find the cost of equity (k), we rearrange the formula to k = (D1 / P) + g. Plugging in the values, k = ($2.10 / $17.50) + 0.03. This yields a cost of equity capital of 15%.
Millie Co. completed its first year of operations on December 31, 2017, with pre-tax financial income of $400,000. Millie accrued a contingent liability of $900,000 for financial reporting purposes; however, the $900,000 will be paid and therefore is deductible for tax purposes in 2018. Millie also has gross profit of $800,000 from certain sales recognized currently for financial reporting purposes but that will be taxable as installment sales in 2018 and 2019 when the cash is received ($400,000 each year). Millie’s pre-tax financial income includes $38,000 interest earned on its holdings of the bonds of the State of Montana. The tax rate is 35% for all years. Required: Determine Millie’s taxable income and taxes due for 2017. Determine the changes in Millie’s deferred tax amounts for 2017. Calculate tax expense for Millie for 2017.
Millie's taxable income for 2017 is $138,000 leading to taxes due of $48,300. The changes in deferred tax amounts result in a deferred tax asset of $140,000. The total tax expense for 2017 is $188,300.
Explanation:To determine Millie's taxable income for 2017, we start with the pre-tax financial income of $400,000. We then subtract the contingent liability of $900,000, recognized for financial reporting purposes, but deductible for tax purposes. Likewise, we need to subtract the $400,000 of the gross profit, which is taxable as an installment sale in 2018. Conversely, the $38,000 interest earned on the State of Montana bonds are not taxable and, thus, added back to our total. Therefore, Millie's taxable income for 2017 is $138,000.
To calculate the taxes due, we simply multiply by the tax rate of 35%, giving a result of $48,300.
The changes in deferred tax amounts are the tax effects of differences between financial income and taxable income. For Millie, this is the tax effect of the $400,000 gross profit, yielding a deferred tax asset of $140,000 ($400,000 * 35%).
Finally, the tax expense for Millie for 2017 is the sum of current tax expense ($48,300) and deferred tax expense (increase in deferred tax assets of $140,000), hence, $188,300.
